THE RING is the result of a design collaboration between Roman & Williams and Betroth founder Derrick Cruz. It started as a daydream; we were thinking about the face of a perfect, unbroken wave, the power of potential.
The rings are cast in 20k gold, which is a very high gold content, and relatively soft. We love how beautifully they wear as you wear them; becoming a part of you, collecting the traces of your life.
Use this ring to forge an alliance. Make a bond. Celebrate promises. Remember a moment in time. A ring is a sacred object, a symbol of love and devotion – give ours as a gift to someone important, or to yourself.
